Miss Bride contented herself with a half-absent "Indeed?" and seemed to resume her meditations. Whereupon, May's eyes flashed, and her head assumed its most magnificent pose. They exchanged not another word on the drive to Rivenoak. May awoke very early next morning.
"I thoroughly agree with you," replied Dyce, absently. "You came down yesterday?" "In the evening. You know that Miss Tomalin is at my house?" "I had no idea of it." "Yes. She arrived the day before yesterday. She left Rivenoak as soon as she knew about Lady Ogram's will. I'm very glad indeed that she came to me; it was a great mark of confidence.
